I would say one of the best moments of my day today was singing to my mom on the phone, early in the morning for her birthday. My mom happens to be one of the most thoughtful people in the world; she sings to me on my birthday and never fails to make me feel incredibly special. Even though I wasn't there to celebrate with her, it was good to hear her voice. Happy Birthday, Mom!!

"Risotto doesn't like to be rushed" my friend wisely says, and she is so right. After 2 hours of mindlessly stirring rice I wonder why I even attempt risotto on a weeknight. I'm not going to pretend this was my best but once I use up 3 times the amount of chicken broth the recipe calls for (like every other time) it's finally done. And each time I finally finish risotto I wonder if it's worth it and it always is. It just requires way too much patience for this woman. I'm tempted to try to draw some kind of analogy between risotto and being patient in life, but I'm just going to leave it and eat my risotto. And that's the truest story I can tell you this Thursday night.
